Chapter Seventy-Four: Can't Be Provoked
At this time, the gate of Yancheng has begun to prepare to close, and this time can be regarded as a very prosperous and lively time in Yancheng. It's just that unlike the trading places in the daytime, the period from the arrival of the evening to the curfew in the middle of the night is a concentrated embodiment of the prosperity of the other side of Yancheng.
Restaurants, gambling houses, green houses, and those shady underground auctions and transactions are all carried out at this time. It seems that there is a tacit understanding between the great cities that after the gates are closed and before the curfew, the whole city has been handed over to the underground order from a certain point of view.
The side street where Zuojia Village is located is now extremely quiet, not only this street, but also the surrounding streets where no pedestrians dare to approach. This strange phenomenon makes the people in these streets even more vigilant, and they all consciously stay in their respective homes, and they don't even dare to think of probing out to look.
Although everyone didn't know what was happening, the vision just now was too terrifying, and now that the vision had passed, the atmosphere here had become even more strange and oppressive.
The mysterious old woman raised her somewhat cloudy old eyes and glanced around into the darkness. As her gaze swept around, the black-clothed people lurking in the shadows couldn't help but tremble slightly.
For a martial artist of their level, especially the "Shadow Guard" who is specifically responsible for investigating intelligence, a sense of fear will naturally arise for a strong person who is much stronger than himself.
If this fear had been left in normal times, they would have immediately chosen to abandon the mission and leave, but now the situation is that they are in their own territory, and the dignity of a strong man they have cultivated over the years does not allow them to run away with their tails between their legs. Moreover, the strict orders issued by their masters this time must be thoroughly investigated, and they must stay to find out the vision of heaven and earth just now.
The last reason is also the main reason, when they met the old woman's gaze from the dark, they knew that in front of this master, running away was a joke at all, and it was better to leave it calmly and maybe give a good impression to the other party.
"This old-timer, we have been ordered by the City Lord to check on the vision of heaven and earth that has just happened here. If the old-timers knew, they would ...... I hope to tell you the truth. ”
As a deep voice rang out, a man in black stepped out of the corner where he was hiding. Even so, he still chose to speak from the dark shadow that the light could not directly reach, and it was completely impossible to judge the age and gender of the man in black from his figure and voice, and even his exact height and body weight gave people a feeling that it was difficult to grasp.
He didn't speak loudly, and when he said the end, he hesitated slightly, but he still chose to bite the bullet and ask the old man in front of him about the reason for the vision just now. Although he knew that there were still several Shadow Guards around him who were here to investigate, it was not the time to deal with those people.
The old woman casually glanced at the Shadow Guard who spoke out of the corner of her eye, and did not answer his words directly, but seemed to say as if to the air, "You all want to know the reason for this vision?"
The old woman's voice seemed to have changed a little from when she entered the city, and she was only a little impatient when facing the guards at the gates. But when he saw the group of Shadow Guards in front of him, her attitude obviously became a little cold, and even a trace of disgust seeped out.
"Hmm......" The old woman saw that no one answered her question, and except for the person in front of her, the other Shadow Guards were still lurking in place, motionless.
The old woman raised her head slightly and glanced into the void, and then a huge spiritual fluctuation spread out in all directions. If Zuo Feng was here, he would find that this powerful spiritual fluctuation was actually the same as the energy he released when he used Nian Hai to investigate, this old woman who seemed to be in her last years turned out to be a legendary breakthrough in the Qi refining stage, a superb master who could truly use Nian Hai.
Under such strong mental pressure, the shadowguards lurking around felt as if they were under pressure from all directions. It feels like my life is like a small flame in the wind and rain, which will be extinguished anytime and anywhere.
The old woman who was under such strong mental pressure at the release place had a calm face, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the dark void without focus. His lips moved slightly, and he sighed: "Since you don't want to show up, it's okay to ......." ”
The old woman's words were very slow, and she paused slightly at the end. When she was about to continue, there were six figures wrapped in black, staggering out of their hiding corners, as if they were being chased from behind.
The man in black who appeared first also wiped a cold sweat at this time. I am infinitely glad that I just made the choice, if I had resisted as hard as these people until now, I am afraid that I would be so embarrassed.
He also sensed the mental fluctuation just now, but the old woman did not put herself among the targets of the attack. So just now he seemed to be standing on an isolated island in stormy waves, looking at the other people like a boat that could be overturned at any time. Although he couldn't feel the pain, the feeling of death that would kill him at any moment seemed to pass by his skin.
Looking at the two men in black behind him, it could be seen from the hiding positions of the six men in black that the two people behind him were in the same camp as him, and the other four men in black had two forces with different scores.
He only cared about how to deal with the two people on his side, and the two men in black could already see that they were soaked in sweat all over their bodies, and their bodies were shaking and the gasps in their mouths were constant, and they could see their weakness at this time. There was a hint of horror in their eyes. He shook his head slightly at his companion, indicating that the two of them were fine.
"Seniors, we just had a number of faux pases, and I hope that our seniors will be more forgiving, and I hope that for the sake of Commander Zuo, I won't care about the two of us. ”
"Senior, it's just the two of me who are lucky, and I hope to see ...... right commander."
Before he could finish speaking, the old woman had already stretched out her hand and shook it in the void, signaling them to stop talking. The old woman had been looking into the void since these people appeared, and she didn't pay attention to what these people said.
Several people are actually a little inexplicable, why did this old woman force a few of them to show up but ignored them. But if Zuo Feng was here, he would be able to sense that this old woman was spreading her mental power to the surroundings at this moment, and the old woman's mental power radiating from her own center almost enveloped the entire Yancheng in it.
And the most terrifying thing is that her telekinesis can ignore buildings and even some dark rooms built underground. This kind of ability can not be said to be not strong, and even some of the strong ones are too perverted.
The old woman forced out the shadowguards and left them alone, not because their lurking in the shadows would affect her investigation. It's just that she personally hates the feeling of these rat-like people secretly peeping at themselves in the dark. Now that she had driven the rats to the surface, she began to investigate with peace of mind.
The old woman's telepathic exploration is almost pervasive like mercury at this time, but not all locations can be explored and entered.
For example, in the city lord's mansion, the commander's mansion, and several large businesses and exchanges, there are special secret rooms or practice rooms. Her telekinesis can't penetrate to investigate, and the kind of secret room built with a special magnet also called a magnet spirit stone, or a secret room built with a certain amount of magnet spirit stone added to the wall, can block the exploration of her mental power.
After about half an hour, the old man slowly withdrew her gaze towards the void, and a trace of irritation could be discerned in her gaze, which was only a faint fleeting moment. With her cultivation and the long years she has been in this world, this hint of anger is very rare.
Looking at the group of black-clad Shadow Guards again, and their flat voices spoke, "Go back and tell your master that everything here is not for your master to touch. ”
At this point, she paused slightly, and then spoke again: "If you want to live for a long time, then it is best not to meddle in this matter again. This is my advice to the old man in your empire, to listen or not to listen...... Whatever, you can go. ”
There was a hint of irresistible majesty in the old man's words, and the Shadow Guard, who was the first to appear and claim to be from the City Lord's Mansion, took the two people behind him, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and then turned around and left without looking back.
The two black-clothed men who claimed to have claimed to be the Right Commander's Mansion before were a little unwilling in their hearts and wanted to ask a few more questions. But when the eyes of the two of them fell on the old woman in the long street, both of them couldn't help but shiver, swallowed the words that came to their lips again, and bowed like the previous three before and turned around and left.
The last two black-clothed men left behind were the two shadow guards who claimed to be the Left Commander's Mansion and Zhang Yu's commander. The two also wanted to leave immediately, but remembering Zhang Yu's serious expression before the two of them left, and his usual treatment of failure to complete the task, the two had to stay at the end.
The old woman didn't look at them again, but said lightly: "Is there anything else?"
The two looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in their eyes. In the end, one of them seemed to grit his teeth and said, "Senior, forgive me for taking the liberty of the two of you, that vision is still ......." ”
The old woman didn't wait for the two of them to finish speaking, and her brows were already deeply furrowed. "Roll" was like a muffled thunder, and the shouts seemed to explode in the minds of the two of them, and the two of them spurted blood from their eyes, ears, mouths and noses together, and staggered away with a miserable howl.
About a quarter of an hour later, in the stone chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, a middle-aged man sat on a stone bed and listened to the Shadow Guard finish telling the mysterious old woman. Thinking of the old woman holding the black phantom stone that the leader of the city guard said just now, he already had a little guess about the identity of this old woman.
After listening to the report, he slowly closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Tell all the people in the City Lord's Mansion not to provoke that old woman, if she has any requests, she will do everything possible to meet them." ”
The man in black nodded yes, then bowed and left, muttering in his heart, 'Don't provoke such a god?'
